PathCombineW gives unresolved exetranl symbol

[Nakruf]

The error is in PathCombine but I can't find the solution to the error. I also included the function for getting roaming dir.

Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State

wchar_t* GetDirectoryRoaming()
{
    wchar_t* pathbuffer;
    SHGetKnownFolderPath(FOLDERID_RoamingAppData, 0, NULL, &pathbuffer);
    return pathbuffer;
}

wchar_t* CombineDirectory(const wchar_t fAddress, const wchar_t sAddress)
{
    wchar_t* MainDirectory = L"Program\\"; //Main folder name.
    wchar_t* Roaming = GetDirectoryRoaming(); //

    wchar_t* bufferpointer = new wchar_t [MAX_PATH];

    PathCombine(bufferpointer, Roaming, MainDirectory);//STORE PATH IN PROGRAM_FOLDER.
    return bufferpointer;
}

You need to add the library Shlwapi.lib to your project.

In Visual Studio you can use #pragma comment(lib, "Shlwapi.lib")
